When the military approached immediately afterwards, they hide on one of the trucks that take them to a secret underground base. When they try to make contact with the seriously injured man, who was also brought to the base, his body bursts open and a large spider appears. She kills several base employees and flees. While trying to leave the underground base, Marci, Slick and Jake learn that the spiders have been treated with alien DNA in order to use them as biological weapons. In the meantime, the escaped spider reproduces by planting eggs in its victims, from which new giant spiders hatch. Slick and Jake also fall victim to the monsters. The military, together with government troops led by Agent Gray, are trying to catch one of the spiders alive in order to continue the experiment. All but Gray and John Murphy are killed. The spiders keep getting bigger, Marci and Murphy, who are now working together, manage to escape from the base, Gray stays behind and is attacked by one of the giant spiders.

reception
The editorial team of Cinema .de describes Spider Attack - eight- legged monsters as “'Tarantula' with a little 'X-Files' mysticism” and as a “B-movie web” and judges: “Sci-Fi horror bombs. Pooh, Spider! ”Also at Treffpunkt: Criticism, the film was rated negatively, criticized among other things were the story, the actors, the effects, the staging in general and the German synchronization. The conclusion is accordingly bad: “Maybe interesting for fans of the fast splatter [...]; everyone else who appreciates reasonably well-made B-films should steer clear of this pathetic film attempt. ”On Tierhorror.de, on the other hand, Marcus Littwin comments almost entirely positively about the film. He describes Spider Attack as a “noble sci-fi spider trash”, which is a “laudable exception” compared to the other publications of the production company Nu Image and says: “The film is fun, and nothing more is it.”
